Johannesburg – The Gift of the Givers has donated and delivered more than 900 oxygen machines to hospitals in the Eastern Cape, leaving hospital executives relieved and ecstatic.
The donations come as South Africa crossed the one million infection mark Sunday night, with just under 27,000 people dying from the virus so far.
Gift of the Givers founder Dr. Imtiaz Sooliman said the oxygen machines were designed to specification after the South African National Fan Group, the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory and the Department of Commerce and Industry requested proposals earlier this year to design CPAP machines that are used for efficient oxygen delivery.
“We now have a truly South African oxygen delivery machine that is tailored to our current needs, a machine that is essentially mechanical and not electronic, easy to use, non-intimidating, practical and very efficient.
“The CPAP machine was produced by CSIR, approved by SAHPRA, and funded by the Solidarity Fund.
“Gift of the Givers welcomes the opportunity to distribute 12,000 of these machines for free to everyone in the EC Health Group and nationwide.
“We have tested them with our medical teams and the feedback is unanimous: ‘This machine has helped us save lives because we had no other options,'” he said.
Sooliman said public hospitals, clinics and ambulance services in need can email the organization for assistance.
email [email protected] for the free supply of these machines. Special concessions have been made for the supply to private hospitals. Details to be discussed at the same email address.
